Chapter 4 Divorce

Lu Junyan frowned, put down the flowers and Chinese medicine, and calmly took out his phone to call Jiang Ning, but the call went unanswered.

Lu Junyan never imagined that Jiang Ning would be away from home one day, but as usual, he put on a record and listened to his favorite Chopin Nocturne.

An hour later, no one returned.

Two hours later, no one returned.

Three hours later, no one returned.

Lu Junyan got up and looked at the wardrobe. Most of Jiang Ning's clothes were still there, all of which he had given her, and they were all pink.

But the two blue suits Jiang Ning wore before her wedding are gone.

Just then, someone delivered a package.

The recipient was him.

Lu Junyan couldn't remember buying anything.

The package was a huge cardboard box. He opened it, and the contents were dazzling—

There are preserved pink roses, a pink diamond necklace, a pink Hermes bag, bright pink high heels, a cherry pink dress, a pink diamond watch, gold ornaments, a peach pink scarf, luxury perfume, a pink diamond brooch, car keys, a pink diamond ring...

Lu Junyan's expression grew increasingly grim, a storm brewing silently in his eyes.

These……

These were all gifts he gave Jiang Ning when he was pursuing her.

That pink diamond ring was an engagement ring.

Lu Junyan casually flipped through the gifts and found that even after so many years, the tags were still on.

The only thing in the box that wasn't a gift from him was a file folder, which Lu Junyan casually pulled out.

The night view of City A is beautiful, a dazzling spectacle.

The old houses on Sanhu Street haven't had their lights on for several years, but today, for the first time ever, the lights stayed on from dusk until late at night.

Jiang Ning spent half a day cleaning the room until it was spotless. Although it was simple, it was clean and looked quite cozy.

She used to have her mother by her side, but now she's all alone. It would be a lie to say she's not lonely.

Jiang Ning held his phone, hesitating whether to call Gu Lanlan.

Gu Lanlan is her best friend; they went to the same high school.

Before she could make the call, the doorbell rang suddenly. Jiang Ning hung up the phone and went to open the door.

At the main gate, Lu Junyan's tall and imposing figure stood there like a majestic mountain peak, startling Jiang Ning.

"What do you mean?!"

With a crash, Lu Junyan slammed the divorce papers in Jiang Ning's face.

Jiang Ning's face turned red from the slap. It was the first time she had ever seen Lu Junyan so furious, and she couldn't help but lower her head in fear.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Why did you suddenly decide to run away from home? Are you a child?!"

Lu Junyan reached out to pull Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning dodged backward.

"Lu Junyan, I want a divorce..."

"Why?"

"because……"

"Is it because of Qingxue?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning looked up and saw Lu Junyan with his arms crossed, a contemptuous sneer on his handsome face, which resembled a figure from a painting.

That smile stung Jiang Ning's eyes.

Seeing Jiang Ning's tacit agreement, Lu Junyan found it amusing.

Now that Chu Qingxue has returned to the country, their affair can no longer be kept secret, and he had no intention of hiding it.

"Jiang Ning, how come you've learned this 'playing hard to get' trick too? I admit Qingxue was my first love, and I proposed to you back then to spite her, but in the three years we've been married, I haven't done anything to betray you..."

The words "I've never done anything to wrong you" brought tears to Jiang Ning's eyes.

She desperately wanted to question Lu Junyan: "What about the child? Didn't you abort the child yourself?"

However, she felt it was pointless.

Jiang Ning felt a tightness and pain in his chest, as if a large stone was pressing down on it, and he took a deep breath.

Now that things have come to this, divorce is the best outcome for her and Lu Junyan, putting an end to her foolish and failed love and marriage.

Jiang Ning watched as Lu Junyan took out a cigarette, lit it, sat on the narrow living room sofa, puffed out smoke, and spoke with conviction.

"Qingxue and I went to the same high school. She went abroad for university and is now a returned overseas student, a rising star in the jewelry design world. If her hand hadn't been injured, she would have been a world-class pianist long ago... Such a woman is too outstanding, she wouldn't be able to stand my mother. It would be too unfair to her to stay at home and be a wife and mother, burying her talent. So she is not suitable to be my Lu family's daughter-in-law..."

Jiang Ning's face grew paler and paler.

"But you're different. You have no talent, no ambition, you didn't graduate from university, you have no education, no diploma, no skills, your family isn't well-off, and you've been a housewife for so many years that you're out of touch with society... Without me, you're nothing, you can't even guarantee basic food and clothing. What right do you have to divorce me?"

The small house was completely silent.

Jiang Ning opened his mouth, inhaled the smoke exhaled by Lu Junyan, and coughed.

"If you've thought it through, pack your things and come home with me. I'll only forgive you this once."

After finishing his cigarette, Lu Junyan couldn't find an ashtray, but he didn't litter either.

As he raised his hand, Jiang Ning walked over, took the cigarette butt from him, and threw it into the trash can.

Lu Junyan smiled, his charming smile was especially captivating.

She said she wanted a divorce, but her actions betrayed her words.

Lu Junyan changed his sitting posture and crossed his legs.

Jiang Ning had no money or ability; she was a parasite who could only depend on men.

Anyone who isn't stupid will know which choice is most beneficial to them.

This time, it was Chu Qingxue's presence that provoked her, which is why she played the game of feigning indifference with him.

"That's enough. I don't have that much time to play along with your act. As long as you continue to manage this household as before, I will continue to support you."

After Lu Junyan finished speaking coldly, he saw Jiang Ning bend down and hunch over to pick up the scattered divorce papers one by one.

"If you don't sign, I'll send it to your company tomorrow, or to your mom..."

Lu Junyan stood up abruptly.

"Jiang Ning, don't push your luck!"

Jiang Ning was terrified that the person he had loved for ten years, his former bedmate, now seemed so unfamiliar.

She opened the door.

"Go back now! Don't come back again."

Lu Junyan never expected that his humble attempt to personally visit Jiang Ning would result in such a cold reception. He shrugged and smiled in frustration.

"Fine, Jiang Ning, you've got guts. Don't come crying to me later if you regret it."

With a bang, Lu Junyan slammed the door shut and stormed off.

The divorce agreement was still not taken away.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Ning finally found her old bank card.

This is her bank card from before her marriage. It has been kept in this house untouched, and there is not a single penny in it that Lu Junyan gave her.

Lu Junyan was right last night. She has no education or diploma, and after being a housewife for so many years, she has become out of touch with society. After the divorce, she will have to make a living on her own.

After linking my bank card to mobile banking, the balance was displayed very quickly.

14783000

It was a little more than she had imagined.
